Re: [asterisk-users] Pattern Extension not working in Dialplan
READ application should do the job for you [Syntax]Read(variable[,filename[filename2[...]][,maxdigits[,options[,attempts[,timeout]) i normally use first three arguments i.e. variable name, filename to play and max digits you might consider using waitexten before read though Rgds From: anuragrana31...@gmail.com Date: Mon, 8 Sep 2014 09:29:47 +0530 To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Pattern Extension not working in Dialplan Thank you all for your suggestions. 1.

You would be better off jumping to a new context and building up your number,
digit-by-digit as it is entered, in a channel variable.
In your s extension, set your variable to an empty string; do a Background()
and then WaitExten() for a digit to be entered. Have an extension _X to
capture each digit and append it to the number so far. Then use a GotoIf() to
jump to the WaitExten() statement if insufficient digits have been entered so
far. You might also want a * extension to clear the number entered so far, if
the user makes a mistake.
If you need a written example, I might be able to dig something out later.

This is excerpted from a dialplan application I wrote. It's actually a PIN
entry but should be usable for any general purpose application. Sound files
referred to will need to be created by you.
[get_pin]
exten = s,1,Set(pin=)
exten = s,n,Set(PINLENGTH=4)
exten = s,n(prompt),Background(ajs-enter_pin)
; Build up the PIN digit by digit. The WaitExten() will be cut short by any
; keystroke, so we can use a quite longish timeout.
exten = s,n(nextdigit),WaitExten(30)
exten = s,n,Playback(ajs-sorry_didnt_get)
exten = s,n,GoToIf($[${LEN(${pin})}1]?prompt:saysofar)
exten = s,n(saysofar),Playback(ajs-digits_so_far)
exten = s,n,SayDigits(${pin})
exten = s,n,Goto(nextdigit)
; We need a h extension (for tidying up after ourselves) in this context;
; because the call may be placed from within this context.
exten = h,1,NoOp(Clearing up)
exten = *,1,Playback(ajs-start_again)
exten = *,2,GoTo(get_pin,s,1)
exten = #,1,Hangup()
exten = _X,1,Set(pin=${pin}${EXTEN:0:1})
exten = _X,n,NoOp(PIN so far is ${pin})
exten = _X,n,GoToIf($[${LEN(${pin})}=${PINLENGTH}]?got_all:need_more)
exten = _X,n(need_more),GoTo(get_pin,s,nextdigit)
; We have all 4 digits .
exten = _X,n(got_all),NoOp(PIN is ${pin})

Re: [asterisk-users] Pattern Extension not working in Dialplan
Thanks. I will try it. Meanwhile I was trying below code.
call goes to 'test' context and from there is passed to macro 'age'.
In 'age' macro when I am using any patter to accept even single digit, its
not working. So instead of using pattern I hardcoded the extension, but
still when I am pressing the key '2' it is throwing below error.
Please note that when diaplan execution is inside macro 'age', it searches
the extension inside its parent context 'test'...why? am I do something
wrong?
[test]
exten=s,1,Macro(age)
[macro-age]
exten=s,1,Background(my/age)
exten=s,2,WaitExten(15)
exten=s,3,NoOp(${AGE})
exten=s,n,GotoIf($[${LEN(${AGE})} 0]?notEmpty)
exten=s,n,Goto(s,1)
exten=s(notEmpty),n,Background(my/thank-you)
exten=s,n,Wait(1)
exten=2,1,(TEMP=${EXTEN}) ;; exten=_X,1,(TEMP=${EXTEN}) is also not
working
exten=2,n,Read(AGE,,1,10)
exten=2,n,Set(AGE=${${TEMP}*10+${AGE}})
exten=2,n,Goto(s,3)

Re: [asterisk-users] Pattern Extension not working in Dialplan
The first issue I see is you are attempting to insert your pattern match in
the middle of your 's' extension, That's going to break your 's' extension.
The second issue is that you are matching on XX which will match two
digits, You need to match on _X instead if you are attempting to match on
the number 8.
I recommend you look into 'read' instead of trying to do a pattern match.

A pattern match is a reasonable method. I use pattern matching more often
that the read() application. Try both and see which meets your needs
better.
Are you really defining a 'macro' or is that just the (misleading) name
you chose for your context. Personally, I use gosub() more, but again,
try both :)
I suggest you try 'dialplan show macro-age' to see how Asterisk is
interpreting your dialplan. I suspect it is not what you expect.
In specific, your ordering of '_xx' in the middle of 's' is odd. This
would disrupt the value of the priority in older versions of Asterisk, but
it appears that it does work in modern (I'm using 11) versions.
Also, a label ('notEmpty') belongs to a priority, not an extension.

Disregard that. I can't even follow my own advice ('dialplan show
macro-age'). Don't 'intermingle' extensions.
